Tomasz Pląskowski

Tomasz Pląskowski – Designer

I’m a self-employed freelance illustrator with 15 years of experience. I love creating both for children and for more serious projects.

Overview

I try to make the illustrations harmonize with the story but I also like to add something from myself. Always with respect for the author and, above all, for the viewer. It usually works out best when I have a free hand, but I am also open to any suggestions.When I create for children, I like to spice up the images with a large dose of humor. When working on more serious projects, I always carefully do my own research and rely on relevant references. I am happy to learn new things while working.I'll gladly help you and illustrate your story!

I have LOVED working with Tom. I've never worked with an illustrator before and he was so patient and kind throughout the entire process. He received feedback/critiques well and would make changes quickly. He was open to ideas that would come to me on the fly and answer my many, many questions....
